Understanding ColdFusion Server Profiles
To develop and deploy ColdFusion applications, you can use one of the multiple server profiles available when you
install ColdFusion. The ColdFusion installer allows you to install the ColdFusion Server in the following profiles
(modes):
1 Development profile
2 Production profile
3 Production profile (secure)

Depending on the type of profile selected during the installation, the server will be automatically configured with the
appropriate settings. Choose the right profile in the installer:

Last updated 2/17/2016

Once you install the Server using a particular profile, you can't change the profile later.
The following table shows the difference between the 3 supported Server profiles:
Feature

Development Profile

Production Profile

Production Profile (Secure)

Support for all types of
debugging

Yes

Support for remote inspection

Yes

Support for strict enforcement of
complex passwords

Yes

Support for remote start/stop

Yes

Support for Weinre and other
bundled servers (For instance,
Node.js)

Yes

Support for enabling unused
servlets

Yes

Support for Secure Profile .

Yes

Depending upon the option selected, a few settings will be pre-configured in the Administrator. You have no choice to
change these settings during installation. However, you can modify these settings later from the Administrator (NOT
RECOMMENDED).
Note: For the Production Profile, only the basic security settings are pre-configured by the installer. If you need a highly
secure producture server, use the Production Profile (Secure) or manually configure the security settings.

Preparing to Install ColdFusion

Last updated 2/17/2016

Note:Understand the various ColdFusion Server Profiles. Understanding ColdFusion Server Profiles.

Preparing to Install ColdFusion
Just before installing Adobe ColdFusion, review the ColdFusion product editions, system requirements, and other
high-level considerations.
About the ColdFusion installation
ColdFusion provides a powerful and flexible installation and upgrade process. The ColdFusion installation process
includes the following phases:
1 Plan the installation by determining your installation, configuration, and upgrade options.
2 Run the ColdFusion installer.
3 (JEE configuration only) Deploy and configure ColdFusion on your JEE application server. The ColdFusion

installation process supports the following scenarios:

• New installation Install ColdFusion on a computer with no earlier ColdFusion installation.
• Upgrade installation You can upgrade from ColdFusion 11 or ColdFusion 10. When upgrading, the installer
preserves the existing settings and installs in a new directory, automatically assigning ports that do not conflict with
the existing installation.You can install ColdFusion 2016 in any of the following configurations:
• Server configuration Lets you install ColdFusion with an embedded JEE server. This was formerly known as the
stand-alone configuration. For enterprise and developer licenses, you can create and manage new ColdFusion
instances. For information on installing the server configuration, see Installing the Server Configuration.
Note: ColdFusion does not offer a separate multi-server mode of installation.

• JEE configuration (Enterprise Edition only) Lets you deploy ColdFusion 2016 as a Java application running on
a Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) application server, using a third-party JEE server, such as IBM WebSphere or
Oracle WebLogic. When you use the JEE configuration, you can deploy ColdFusion multiple times on a single
computer. For information on installing the JEE configuration, see Installing the JEE Configuration.
Installing ColdFusion
ColdFusion product editions
The ColdFusion product editions are available on the Adobe website. To view the product editions, go to
www.adobe.com/go/learn_cfu_cfeditions_en.
System requirements
The ColdFusion system requirements are available on the Adobe website. To view the system requirements, including
a list of supported JEE application servers, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_cfu_cfsysreqs_en.
Installation considerations
Before installing ColdFusion, review the considerations for installing or upgrading on your platforms.
Note: To use VisiBroker for CORBA connections in ColdFusion, see Enabling CORBA support (refer to Configuring your System) .

• Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release), ColdFusion 11, ColdFusion 10, and ColdFusion 9 can co-exist on the same
system.

Last updated 2/17/2016

• In the case of ColdFusion cluster setup, any changes to the cluster settings, for example, adding a new member, or
changing member port (in the ColdFusion Administrator) causes web server restart. This may result in page timeout.Refresh the page to resolve this issue.
• If ColdFusion uninstaller is not able to remove the connector for Apache (for example, in the case of Mac OS X), do
the following to manually remove it:
1 Delete the mod_jk.conf found in {apache_install_location}/conf/ directory.
2 Delete {cfroot}/config/wsconfig/ folder which has the Apache connector file, mod_jk.so.
3 Remove the following line from {apache_install_location}/conf/httpd.conf file:Include

"{apache_install_location}\conf\mod_jk.conf ".
4 From the ColdFusion Administrator, when you wish to start multiple instances, start the cfusion instance first, and

then start the other instances..
5 When you run the ColdFusion uninstaller, the logs folder (ColdFusion_Home/cfusion/) is deleted.
6 When you install ColdFusion, you can install the Administrator Component to start and stop remote server. Use the

Remote Instance Administrator Component credentials to remotely start/stop the server from applications such as
Server Manager, Instance Manager in ColdFusion Administrator, or ColdFusion Builder.
7 JEE deployment of ColdFusion EAR or WAR on JRun is not supported. The EWS.jar }}must be present in the

{{systemclasspath while deploying on a JEE server.
Installation considerations for all platforms
The following are installation considerations for all platforms:
Installation considerations for Windows
The following installation considerations are for Windows systems only:

• Do not configure the server running ColdFusion as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or Backup Domain
Controller (BDC). Adobe follows the Microsoft network model, in which the first level is the PDC or BDC. These
systems only manage the network or domain and are not designed to run application servers. ColdFusion should
reside on the second level of Microsoft Windows stand-alone systems. Stand-alone servers can participate in a
network or domain.
• Microsoft Windows XP handles only ten incoming TCP/IP connections concurrently. Therefore, Adobe does not
recommend using this operating system in a production environment; use Microsoft Windows 2003 Server and
Windows 2008 Server instead.
Installation considerations for UNIX
The following are installation considerations for UNIX systems only:

• For troubleshooting purposes, the installer creates the following log file during an installation or upgrade in UNIX:
cf_root/Adobe_ColdFusion_2016_InstallLog.log. If you contact AdobeTechnical Support for installation support,
send them this file.
• If you are deploying the JEE configuration on a platform other than Linux or Solaris, use the
ColdFusion_2016_WWEJ_java.jar. This Java-only installer does not include features that require platform-specific
binary files, such as C++ CFX support.

Installing the Server Configuration
Installing the Server configuration

Last updated 2/17/2016

The ColdFusion server configuration contains an embedded copy of Tomcat and is most similar to earlier versions of
ColdFusion.
Note : The cf_root directory refers to your installation directory. By default, this directory is C:\ColdFusion2016 in Windows, and
/opt/ColdFusion 2016 in UNIX.

Although the Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release) installer provides an intuitive interface, it helps to plan your answers to
the questions asked by the installer. Use the steps below to install the server configuration of Adobe ColdFusion (2016

Using the built-in web server
ColdFusion provides in-built Tomcat application server that you can use to develop ColdFusion applications.
Note that the version of Tomcat application server bundled with Sdobe ColdFusion (2016 release) is 8.0.27.

During the ColdFusion installation, choose a web server. If you select the built-in web server, your web root directory
is located in the cfroot/wwwroot directory. By default, the web server runs on port 8500. It means that to display a page
in your application, append:8500 to the host name or IP address in the URL; for example,
http://localhost:8500/YourApp1/index.cfm. If the page does not appear, ensure that the document is located in the
built-in web server's web root directory; for example, C:\ColdFusion2016\cfusion\wwwroot\YourApp1\index.cfm.
Note: If port 8500 is in use, the installer checks up to 100 ports (starting with 8501) to find a port that is not used. ColdFusion uses that port
and displays a message to indicate the selected port.

If you select an external web server during installation, the built-in web server is deactivated.
Change the port of the built-in web server
1 Back up the server.xml file. This file is in the cfroot\cfusion\runtime\conf directory.
2 Open the original server.xml file for editing.
3 Search for internal webserver start.Update the port number.
port="8500" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8445" compression="on"
useSendfile="no" compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml"/>

4 Save the file and then restart ColdFusion.

Configuring the built-in web server (Tomcat)
While installing, if you have configured ColdFusion on an external web server, do the following to configure
ColdFusion on in-built Tomcat:
1 Open the cfroot\cfusion\runtime\conf\server.xml file.
2 Search for internal webserver start.Uncomment the following connector XML.
port="8500" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8445"/>

Save the file, and then restart ColdFusion.

Last updated 2/17/2016

To enable OS Symbolic links after switching to Tomcat, edit the context.xml file found in /cfusion/runtime/conf/ to add allowLinking="true"
attribute to the context element.

Starting, stopping, and restarting ColdFusion
On Windows
?

At prompt, go to the directory cfroot\cfusion\bin and run the following command: coldfusion.exe -start -console.
To stop ColdFusion, use the command coldfusion.exe -stop -console. To restart, use the command coldfusion.exe restart -console.Alternatively, you could also start, stop, and restart ColdFusion server using Windows Services.
Note: Paused tasks misfire when restarting ColdFusion.

Note: As possible in previous versions of ColdFusion, you can also use the cfstart script to start/stop the ColdFusion sever.

Note: The -console argument is optional. If it is not provided, the logs are saved in the cfroot\cfusion\logs directory.

On UNIX/Linux/Solaris/MAC OSX
?

At prompt, go to the directory cfroot\cfusion\bin and run the following command: ./coldfusion start}}To stop
ColdFusion, use the command ./{{coldfusion stop. }}To restart, use the command {{./coldfusion restart.
Note: Paused tasks misfire when restarting ColdFusion.

Note: Use the status command to find the status of ColdFusion server.

Editing the JVM settings
To edit the JVM settings, open the cfroot\cfusion\bin\jvm.config file and update the following details:

• java.home: Java home. If not set, ColdFusion verifies the default JRE in the cfroot\jre folder, in the registry, or in the
J{{AVA_HOME}} environment variable.
• java.args: Settings for -Xmx, ColdFusion classpath, and so on.
• java.library.path: Settings for library path.
• java.class.path: Additional classpath settings in a comma-separated list.
• application.home: Default is cfroot\cfusion

•
Creating and editing a new ColdFusion instance

Last updated 2/17/2016

Administrator.
1 In the ColdFusion Administrator, go to Enterprise Manager > Instance Manager.
2 Click Add New Instance.
3 Enter the server name and server directory.
4 (Optional) Check Create Windows Service.
5 Click Submit. In the Instance Manager, start, stop, restart, delete, access website, or access administrator.
6 Click the Edit icon to edit the instance manager.
7 Edit the internal webserver port and load balancing factor.Load balancing factor represents the load the instance

takes up. Load balancing factor is applicable only if the instance is part of the cluster. For example, the load balancing
factor for the first instance is 1 and that of the second instance is 2. The second instance receives two times more
requests.
8 Click Submit.

Registering a remote instance
Register a new remote instance of ColdFusion using the ColdFusion Administrator.
1 In the ColdFusion Administrator, click Enterprise Manager > Instance Manager > Register Remote Instance.
2 Specify the details such as instance name, remote host, remote port, http port, and JVM route. Instance name is a

string that is used to identify the instance. Remote port and HTTP port are displayed in the Instance Manager page.
These ports are provided in the server.xml file available in the runtime\conf folder of the instance. Remote port is
the AJP port and the instance port is the connector port.JVM route is the remote instance name. The JVM route is
an attribute that acts as an identifier for a particular Tomcat worker. JVM route is provided in the server.xml file
available in the runtime\conf folder of the instance. For more information on JVM route, see
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/cluster-howto.html.
Note: A remote instance and a local instance cannot have the same JVM route if they are added in a cluster with sticky session enabled.

1 In the ColdFusion Administrator, click Enterprise Manager > Cluster Manager.
2 Enter a cluster name and then click Add.
3 Click the cluster name and move the servers to the cluster based on the requirement.
4 (If necessary) Edit the multicast port.Multicast port is used to group the cluster members together. Default value of

multicast port is 45564. After you create a cluster, the port is added in the cfroot\config\cluster.xml file. For more
information on multicast port, see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/cluster-membership.html.
5 Specify if you need sticky session.Sticky session ensures that after a session is established on an instance, all future

requests from the client are mapped to that instance. Click Submit.
Note: Restart the web server if cluster instances are modified.

Adding a remote instance to a cluster
To add a remote instance to a cluster, add the cluster block to the remote instance's server.xml. Then, register the remote
instance and add the instance to the cluster. For more information on configuring clusters on Tomcat, see
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/cluster-howto.html.

1 Register the remote instance to the local machine.
2 Create a cluster in the local machine.
3 Open the cfroot_instance-name_runtime\conf\server.xml file of the remote instance.
4 Add the following block between the entries }}and {{:

5 In the entry, update the membership port with the multicast port of the cluster.
6 Using the ColdFusion Administrator of the local host, add the local instance and the remote instance to the cluster.
Note: If you enable sticky session, the JVM route of the remote instance and local instance must not be the same.

7 Restart all the instances.

Configuring Secured Socket Layer (SSL)
SSL allows the browser and the server to communicate over a secured connection. Data that is sent is encrypted at one
side, transmitted, and then decrypted at the other end. For more information about SSL configuration on Tomcat, see
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/ssl-howto.html. To configure SSL for ColdFusion using the keytool utility, do
the following:
1 Create a certificate file:
1 Run the following command:cfroot\jre\bin\keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA
2 Type the details as per the instruction.
If you do not provide a password, the default password for keystore and key is changeit. If you don't want to use the default password,
ensure that you provide the same password for the keystore and the key.

Running this command creates a certificate.keystore in the following location:

• Windows: C:\Documents and Settings_user's_director_y
• Linux: usr/home
3 Open the cfroot\cfusion\runtime\conf\server.xml file and search for the string Define a SSL HTTP/1.1.
4 Uncomment the connector details and update the section as follows:

5 Restart ColdFusion.
6 Access ColdFusion using the following URL: https://:8443/CFIDE/administrator

Changing virtual directory and the doc root
Do the following to change the virtual directory and doc root:
1 Open CFInstallation\cfusion\runtime\conf\server.xml.

3 Uncomment the entry context path below.
4 To add a virtual directory, add the aliases attribute as shown below:

Last updated 2/17/2016

Note: Alias path must include a leading /.

5 To change the doc root, change the docBase value in the above entry.For more details on the Context attributes, see

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html.
Changing the connector port for cfstat
You can use the connector output for logging cfstat metric. The cfconnector port is defined in the
CFInstallation/cfusion/lib/neo-metric.xml file. If you have configured a connector, update the port with the connector
port. The connector port (AJP port) is provided in the CFInstallation/cfusion/runtime/conf/server.xml. To update the
connector port using the Administrator console:
1 Login ColdFusion Administrator.
2 Click Debugging & Logging > Debug Output.
3 Update the connector port and click Submit Changes.

Enabling Search Engine Safe URLs
Search Engine Safe URL (SES) helps the search engines to index dynamic web pages. SES URLs pass parameters using
slashes instead of default URL pattern. By default, SES is enabled for stand-alone installation of ColdFusion on Tomcat.
Note: SES is applicable only for stand-alone installation of Tomcat. It does not work if ColdFusion is deployed as a WAR file on Tomcat.

Note: If you wish to use custom SES URLs, also add the URL entry to the uriworkermap.properties file found in the wsconfig folder for your web
server.

Enabling Secure Profile
ColdFusion allows you to secure ColdFusion server furthermore by enabling or disabling certain settings. When
installing ColdFusion, you can enable Secure Profile by selecting the option when prompted on the Secure Profile
screen. Further, you could provide a comma separate list of IP addresses that may be allowed to access the ColdFusion
Administrator. In ColdFusion, IP address restriction is supported at the connector-level. For more information,
Installing the Server Configuration.

Changing the log rotation settings
You can change the log rotation settings such as maximum number of backup files and the size of the backup files.
1 Specify log file settings in the neo-logging.xml, located in the \lib directory.
2 The size of coldfusion-out.log and coldfusion-error.log is set to 20MB by default. You can change the size of the log

in the neo-logging.xml file by changing the maxOutLogSize setting.
3 You can also change the maximum number of backups of coldfusion-out.log and coldfusion-error.log that

ColdFusion takes during log rotation within the neo-logging.xml file. Change the maxOutFileBackup setting.

Last updated 2/17/2016

You can change the settings of the remaining files in the ColdFusion Administrator by going to the Debugging and
Logging > Logging Settings section. Change the Maximum file size and Maximum number of Archives settings
accordingly.

Enabling persistent session

?

Open the cfroot\cfusion\runtime\conf\context.xml file.

Uncomment the Manager pathname node.
Note: Flex sessions are not persisted after a Tomcat restart.

Updating from an earlier version
If you have skipped the migration or you have to make modifications to the previous installation that has to be
migrated, do the following:
1 Stop the server.
2 Save settings by copying the files cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/neo-*.xml (of previous installation) to a

directory named cf_X_settings (in which X is the earlier version of ColdFusion) in the
cf_webapp_new_installation_root_directory/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib directory.
3 Edit the ColdFusion cfusion/lib/adminconfig.xml file by setting the value of the runmigrationwizard and the

{{migratecf}}X (in which X is the earlier version of ColdFusion) switch to true.

Installing the JEE Configuration
One of the main advantages of ColdFusion is that you can install it as an integrated server (the server configuration) or
deploy it as a Java application on a standards-based Java Enterprise Edition (JEE, formerly termed, J2EE) application
server, using the JEE configuration option offered in the ColdFusion Installer. In addition to greater flexibility, this
allows your ColdFusion applications to leverage features of the JEE architecture, such as support for multiple
application instances and multiple-instance clustering.

ColdFusion and JEE application servers
You can deploy ColdFusion in the JEE configuration by using a JEE application server, such IBM WebSphere. When
you use the JEE configuration, you can use an existing JEE application server; the installation wizard creates a web
application archive (WAR) or enterprise application archive (EAR) file, which you then deploy by using the tools
provided by your application server.
Choosing EAR or WAR deployment
In the JEE environment, you deploy applications in one of the following formats:

• Web application archive file Contains the ColdFusion application. A web application archive (also called a WAR)
uses a directory structure that contains a WEB-INF/web.xml deployment descriptor, which defines the servlets and
context parameters it uses. JEE application servers can deploy web applications in this directory structures as-is or
in compressed WAR files that contain these directory structures. However, ColdFusion must run from an expanded
directory structure:
WEB-INF web.xml CFIDE cfdocs CFIDE (rds.war) WEB-INF web.xml

The cfusion.war file contains the ColdFusion web application. The rds.war file is a web application that redirects
RDS requests from /CFIDE to /context-root/CFIDE. It forwards requests to the ColdFusion Administrator when
ColdFusion uses a context root other than a forward slash.

• Enterprise application archive file Contains the ColdFusion and RDS redirector web applications. An enterprise
application archive (also called an EAR) uses a directory structure that contains a META-INF/application.xml
deployment descriptor, which defines the web applications that it contains. JEE application servers can deploy
enterprise applications in these directory structures as-is or in compressed EAR files that contain these directory
structures. However, ColdFusion must run from an expanded directory structure:
META-INF application.xml cfusion-war WEB-INF web.xml CFIDE cfdocs rds.war WEB-INF web.xml

If your JEE application server supports enterprise applications, install and deploy the EAR file. For more
information, see Installing an EAR file or WAR files section in this page.
Context root
Because the JEE environment supports multiple, isolated web applications running in a server instance, JEE web
applications running in a server are each rooted at a unique base URL, called a context root (or context path). The JEE
application server uses this initial portion of the URL (that is, the portion immediately following http://_hostname_)
to determine which web application services an incoming request. For example, if you are running ColdFusion with a
context root of cf11, you display the ColdFusion Administrator using the URL
http://localhost/_cf11_/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. Most JEE application servers allow one application in each
server instance to use a forward slash for the context root. Setting the context root to / for the ColdFusion application
is especially useful when serving CFM pages from the web server, because it supports the functionality most similar to
earlier ColdFusion versions. In addition, the RDS web application is not required if you use a context root of /. When
you deploy the ColdFusion EAR file, it uses the context root that you specified when you ran the installation wizard,
which copied your specification to the context-root element of the META-INF/application.xml file. When you deploy
ColdFusion as a WAR file, you use application-server-specific functionality to define the context root.
Multiple instances

Last updated 2/17/2016

When you use the JEE configuration, you can define multiple server instances on a single computer, each running
ColdFusion. Running multiple instances of ColdFusion has the following advantages:

• Application isolation You deploy an independent application to each server instance. Each server instance has
separate settings, and because each server instance runs in its own instance of the JVM, problems encountered by
one application have no effect on other applications.
• Load balancing and failover You deploy the same application to each server instance and add the instances to a
cluster. The web server connector optimizes performance and stability by automatically balancing load and by
switching requests to another server instance when a server instance stops running.
Platforms
Full ColdFusion functionality is available for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris, except that the following are
Windows-specific: COM, .NET, and ODBC Services. AIX support is provided for WebSphere application server only.
Functionality provided by platform-specific binary files. is not available on AIX. Additionally, you can install and
deploy the all-Java ColdFusion JEE configuration on other platforms, although without the functionality provided by
platform-specific binary files (C++ CFXs).

Preparing to install using the JEE configuration
Instead of JRun, Tomcat is embedded with a stand-alone ColdFusion 11 installation. Previous versions of ColdFusion
installer allow you to create multi-server installations whereas ColdFusion 11 installer lets you only install stand-alone
installation. After installing ColdFusion in stand-alone mode, you can create multiple instances and clusters, provided
you have an Enterprise or Developer license.
Note: This feature is not available in Standard Edition.

Installing an EAR file or WAR files
If your computer is already running a JEE application server, the installation wizard creates an EAR file or WAR files,
which you deploy using application-server-specific tools. The ColdFusion JEE configuration must run from an
expanded directory structure. Different JEE application servers have different functionality with regard to deployment
and an expanded directory structure, as follows:

• Deploy compressed archive to working directory. On some JEE application servers (such as IBM WebSphere), the
deployment process expands the EAR/WAR file into a working directory and, from that point forward, the
expanded directory is considered to be the application. For these application servers, you deploy the compressed
EAR/WAR file and work in the resulting directory structure. For more information, see ColdFusion JEE deployment
and configuration section in this page.
• Deploy expanded archive as working directory On other application servers (such as Oracle WebLogic), the
deployment process expands the EAR/WAR file into a temporary directory and (conceptually), the compressed
EAR/WAR file is still considered to be the application. For these application servers, expand the EAR/WAR file
manually, and then deploy the expanded directory structure, which becomes your working directory. For more
information, see ColdFusion JEE deployment and configuration section in this page.
Installing an EAR file or WAR files in Windows
You can install the ColdFusion JEE configuration in Windows.
Note: The Windows installer requires a computer that supports at least 256 colors.

Deploying ColdFusion 11 on IBM WebSphere
The following instructions tell you how to deploy ColdFusion 11 on IBM WebSphere Application Server (AS) and
Network Deployment (ND). The following terms refer to WebSphere and ColdFusion directories:

• websphere_root The directory in which IBM WebSphere Application Server is installed; for example, C:\Program
Files\WebSphere in Windows, and /opt/WebSphere in UNIX.
• cf_webapp_root The directory to which the ColdFusion web application is deployed; for example, C:\Program
Files\WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps_\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war in Windows, and
/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/installedApps/<_My_Host>/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war in UNIX.
• java_home The root directory of your Java 2 software development kit (J2SDK); for example, C:\j2sdk1.6.0_29.
Expand the EAR file
1 Open a console window, navigate to the directory that contains the EAR file, and make a new directory named

cfusion-ear:
md cfusion-ear (mkdir cfusion-ear on UNIX)

2 Change to the cfusion-ear directory and expand the cfusion.ear file with the jarcommand:
java_home/bin/jar -xvf ../cfusion.ear

This expands the cfusion.ear file into cfusion.war and rds.war (rds.war is not included if you specified a context root
of / when you ran the installation wizard).
3 In cfusion-ear, make a new directory named cfusion-war.
md cfusion-war (mkdir cfusion-war on UNIX)

4 Change to the cfusion-war directory and expand the cfusion.war file with the jarcommand:
java_root/bin/jar -xvf ../cfusion.war

This expands the cfusion.war file.
5 (If rds.war exists) Go up one level to cfusion-ear, make a new directory named rds-war.
md rds-war (mkdir rds-war on UNIX)

Last updated 2/17/2016

6 (If rds.war exists) Change to the rds-war directory and expand rds.war with the jarcommand:
java_root/bin/jar -xvf ../rds.war

This expands rds.war.
7 Go up one level to the cfusion-ear file, and delete the cfusion.war and rds.war files:
del cfusion.war (rm cfusion.war on UNIX) del rds.war (rm rds.war on UNIX)

8 Open the cfusion-ear/META-INF/application.xml file in a text editor.
9 Change the web-uri element from cfusion.war to cfusion-war (or the name of the directory that contains the

expanded cfusion.war file). Change the web-uri element for rds.war to rds-war. A directory name in the web-uri
element cannot contain a dot.
10 Save the application.xml file. To use LiveCycle Data Services ES, you must be running WebSphere 5.1.1 Business

Integration.
Deploy ColdFusion 11 on WebSphere 7 or 8 (AS)
1 Start the IBM WebSphere Application Server, if it is not running.
2 Open the IBM WebSphere Administrative Console, if it is not running.
3 Select Applications > Install New Application.
4 When the Preparing for the Application Installation page appears, in the text box for the local file system, enter the

path to the EAR file that you installed when you installed ColdFusion; for example, C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion.ear. If
you are running the Administrative console from a browser that is not on the same system on which WebSphere is
running, that is, not from localhost, use the Remote file system option, which enables directory browsing on the
server file system.
5 Leave the Context Root box empty and click Next.
6 Accept the default values on the second Select Installation Options page, if appropriate for your WebSphere

configuration, and then click Next. WebSphere might display an Application Security Warnings page with a message
at the bottom of the page that starts with "ADMA0080W: A template policy file without any permission set is
included in the 1.2.x enterprise application." You can ignore this warning.
7 If you have multiple application servers, select the application server in which to install the ColdFusion application

and RDS support, and then click Next.
8 When the Map Virtual Hosts for Web Modules panel appears, select the virtual host or hosts in which to install the

ColdFusion 11 application and Remote Development Services (RDS) support, and then click Next.RDS must be on
the same virtual host and port as ColdFusion 11.
9 When the Summary panel appears, review the installation configuration, and then click Finish.
10 When the Application Adobe ColdFusion 11 Installed Successfully message appears on the Installing page, select

Save To Master Configuration, and then select Save on the Save page to save your workspace. If you changed the
application name from the default, the message uses your application name.
11 Start the enterprise application named Adobe ColdFusion 11.
12 Browse to the ColdFusion Administrator to run the Configuration Wizard.

Last updated 2/17/2016

Note: Copy the version of tools.jar that the application server uses to the cfusion/lib directory.

1 Start the IBM WebSphere Application Server, if it is not running.
2 Open the IBM WebSphere Administrative Console, if it is not running.
3 Select Applications > Install New Application.
4 When the Preparing for the Application Installation page appears, in the text box for the local file system, enter the

configuration, and then click Next.WebSphere might display an Application Security Warnings page with a message
at the bottom of the page that starts with "ADMA0080W: A template policy file without any permission set is
included in the 1.2.x enterprise application." You can ignore this warning.
7 Select the cluster on which to install the ColdFusion application and RDS support, and then click Next.
8 When the Map Virtual Hosts for Web Modules panel appears, select the virtual host or hosts in which to install the

On WebSphere ND, deploying multiple application server clones on a single computer is commonly referred to as
vertical clustering. Vertical clustering leverages the computer's processing power to obtain a higher level of
efficiency; however, if there is total computer failure, no application server instances are available. The applications
deployed in a vertical cluster share the same file system. Deploying the multiple application servers on multiple
computers is commonly referred as horizontal clustering; it provides the highest level of failover and scaling. The
steps you perform to deploy ColdFusion 11 in a clustered environment are the same, regardless of clustering
method, because the WebSphere Network Deployment Manager manages the cluster.
Enable sandbox security
1 Do the following to ensure that ColdFusion sandbox security secures Java access to files and network resources:
1 On the WebSphere Administrative Console Security > Secure Administration panel, ensure that the Java 2

Security option is selected.
2 Click Apply and then click Save.

3 Add the following lines to the Standard Properties That Can Be Read By Anyone section of the JVM's security

policy file, java.policy. (For example, this file can be located in C:\Program
Files\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\lib\security\java.policy):
permission java.security.AllPermission; };

Configure operating system-specific binary support in Windows
This process is required to support the following features that use binaries that are specific to your operating system:

• CFX tags written in C++
• Microsoft Access driver with Unicode support You do this by configuring the search paths to find the required
binary files, which are located in the cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib directory.
Configure search paths
1 Make a backup copy of the setupCmdLine.bat file, located in the websphere_root\AppServer\bin directory.
2 Open the original file for editing and add the following on a single line before the line that starts with SET

WAS_CLASSPATH:
SET CF_APPS_PATH=cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib

Replace cf_webapp_rootwith the path to your web application directory; for example, enter the following:
SET CF_APPS_PATH=%WAS_HOME%\installedApps\%WAS_CELL%\ Adobe_ColdFusion_11.ear\cfusion.war\WEBINF\cfusion\lib;%WAS_HOME%\installedApps\%WAS_CELL%\ Adobe_ColdFusion_11.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\flex\jars

3 Add the CF_APPS_PATH variable to the WAS_CLASSPATH by appending the following text to the path statement:
;%CF_APPS_PATH%

The WAS_CLASSPATH line should look similar to the following:
SET WAS_CLASSPATH=%WAS_HOME%/properties;%WAS_HOME%/lib/bootstrap.jar;
%WAS_HOME%/lib/j2ee.jar;%WAS_HOME%/lib/lmproxy.jar;%WAS_HOME%/lib/ urlprotocols.jar;%CF_APPS_PATH%

4 Save the file.
5 Add the full path to the cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib directory to the WAS_PATH variable in the

setupCmdLine.bat file. The WAS_PATH line should look similar to the following:

MQ/WEMPS\bin;%CF_APPS_PATH%;

6 Save the file.

Enable COM support for Windows

Last updated 2/17/2016

You enable Component Object Model (COM) support in Windows after installing ColdFusion 11 so that you can use
the cfreport tag with Crystal Reports. COM support is not required for the ColdFusion Report Builder or any reports
that you create with the ColdFusion reporting feature.
1 Make a backup copy of the setupCmdLine.bat file, which is located in the websphere_root\AppServer\bin directory.
2 Open the original file and add the following on a single line:
SET PATH=%PATH%;cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin;cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin\international

Replace cf_webapp_rootwith the path to your web application root directory, for example:
\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\ bin;%WAS_HOME%\installedApps\%WAS_CELL%\Adobe_ColdFusion_11.ear
\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin\international

3 Save the file. In some cases, you might also have to do the following to register the Microsoft Type viewer:
4 Open a console window and go to the cf_webapp_root\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib directory.
5 Register TypeViewer.dll by issuing the following command:
regsvr32 TypeViewer.dll

Configure operating system-specific binary support for Solaris and Linux
This process is required to support CFX tags written in C++ that use binaries that are specific to your operating system.
You must configure the search paths to find the required binary files, which are located in the cf_webapp_root/WEBINF/cfusion/lib directory.
Configure search path
1 Make a backup copy of the startServer.sh file, which is located in the websphere_root/AppServer/bin directory. The

path specifications in these instructions assume that you deployed ColdFusion using the standard application name
(Adobe ColdFusion 11) and did not rename the application.
2 Open the original file, and in the PLATFORM case block, just above the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBPATH line,

add the following entry on a single, long line: On Solaris:
CFUSION_APPS_PATH=cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

Replace cf_webapp_rootwith the path to your web application root directory; for example:
CF_APPS_PATH="$WAS_HOME"/installedApps/"$WAS_CELL"/ Adobe_ColdFusion_11.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

On Linux:
CF_APPS_PATH=cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

Replace cf_webapp_rootwith the path to your web application root directory; for example:
CF_APPS_PATH="$WAS_HOME"/installedApps/"$WAS_CELL"/ Adobe_ColdFusion_11.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

Last updated 2/17/2016

3 Append the CF_APPS_PATH environment variable to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH entry. The resulting line should be

websphere_root\AppServer\config\cells\NodeName\applications\cf_application_name.ear\
deployments\cf_application_name\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\web.xml files (or the equivalent paths in UNIX). For
example, change the following files:

Last updated 2/17/2016

To disable RDS on Windows,
1 Back up the ColdFusion web module web.xml file (available in either C:\Program

Files\WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps_\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\web.xml or
C:\Program
Files\WebSphere\AppServer\config\cells_\applications\cfusion.ear\deployments\Adobe
ColdFusion 11\cfusion.war\ WEB-INF\web.xml).
2 Open the original web.xml file for editing.
3 Comment out the RDS Servlet definition, as follows:

The text in the servlet definition might vary.
4 Comment out the RDS Servlet mapping, as the following example shows:
RDSServlet /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm -->

The servlet-mapping id value might vary.
5 Save the file.

7 If your ColdFusion 11 application context root is something other than /, disable or undeploy the RDS redirector

web module by doing the following:
8 In the WebSphere Administrative Console, select cell_name > Applications > Enterprise Applications.
9 Stop the Adobe ColdFusion 11 application if it is running.
10 Select Adobe ColdFusion 11 Application, select Manage Modules and then select the check box for ColdFusion

RDS application, and then click Remove.
Enable web services
To enable web services, copy the tools.jar file from Java home that WebSphere uses to the cfusion/lib directory.
Apply application server configuration
To apply application server configuration, restart the application server.
Configure ColdFusion 11
Ensure that the following settings and practices are in place before using WebSphere Application Server ND:

• Event Gateway Ensure that the startup mode of the Socket gateway instances is set to manual. In particular, do not
set it to Automatic when using a vertical cluster. Select one of the instances in the vertical cluster and start the Socket
gateway on that instance manually.
• Session ReplicationEither avoid ColdFusion-specific data types or serialize them to WDDX and store them in
session scope as strings. ColdFusion Administrator:
• In a vertical cluster environment, avoid concurrent changes to the same service.
• In a horizontal cluster environment, each server has its own ColdFusion Administrator. You must make changes
once per server.

Last updated 2/17/2016

• In a vertical cluster environment, the ColdFusion Administrator scheduled tasks are scheduled on all servers.
• Solr Server Only one Solr Search Server can run on each server computer.
• Compilation Use precompiled classes and ensure that the Trusted Cache setting is enabled.
Deploying ColdFusion 11 on Oracle WebLogic
The following instructions tell you how to deploy ColdFusion 11 on Oracle WebLogic 11g. You can deploy ColdFusion
11 on WebLogic using either an expanded EAR file or WAR files. The following terms refer to ColdFusion directories:

• cfusion_install_directory The directory that contains the files extracted by the ColdFusion install, for example,
C:\cf11 or /opt/cf11.
• wl_root The directory that contains WebLogic, for example, C:\Oracle.
• wldomain_root The directory that contains the WebLogic domain into which you deployed ColdFusion.
• cf_webapp_root The directory into which you deployed the ColdFusion web application, for example,
C:\Oracle\user_projects\cfdomain\applications\cfusion-war.
• java_home The root directory of your Java 2 software development kit (J2SDK); for example, C:\jdk1.6.0.
Install ColdFusion 11 on WebLogic
1 Run the ColdFusion installation wizard, choosing the JEE configuration. The installation wizard places the WAR

files in the install directory.
2 Determine the WebLogic domain in which to deploy ColdFusion 11. Optionally, create a domain.
3 Because ColdFusion 11 must run from an expanded directory structure, expand the cfusion.war and rds.war files

manually, and expand the web applications by doing the following:
1 Open a console window, navigate to the directory that contains the WAR files, and create a directory for the

ColdFusion WAR file (named whatever you want the context root to be) and the RDS WAR file (named CFIDE):
md cfusion (Windows, mkdir cfusion on UNIX) md CFIDE (Windows, mkdir CFIDE on UNIX)

2 Change to the cfusion directory and expand the cfusion.war file with the jar command:
java_home/bin/jar -xvf ../cfusion.war

3 Go up one level to the install directory:
cd ..

4 Go to the CFIDE directory and expand the rds.war file with the jar command:
java_home/bin/jar -xvf ../rds.war

5 Open the weblogic.policy file. On WebLogic 11g, the file is located in the

WebLogic_HOME/wlserver_11.0/server/lib/ directory. In a text editor, comment out the restrictive permissions,
and add permission java.security.AllPermission; to the default permissions section, as the following example shows:
// default permissions granted to all domains grant { permission java.security.AllPermission; /* permission java.util.PropertyPermission
"java.version", "read"; permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.vendor", "read"; ... permission java.util.PropertyPermission
"java.vm.name", "read"; */ }; ...

6 Deploy the cfusion and CFIDE directory structures using your site-specific WebLogic deployment method.
7 Ensure that the following jars are in the startup script's classpath.

2 Deploying ColdFusion to a JBoss cluster
Note: If you are already using an application with context root of /, use a context root other than / for the cfusion-ear file. If you specified /
when you installed ColdFusion, you can change it by opening the cfusion-ear/META-INF/application.xml file in a text editor and modifying
the context-root element. After you deploy the cfusion-ear file, you access ColdFusion pages by specifying
http://hostname:portnumber/contextroot/pagename.cfm.

If you are updating an existing deployment of ColdFusion, undeploy it for JEE before you deploy ColdFusion 11.
When you deploy ColdFusion on an existing version of JBoss, expand the EAR file or WAR files manually before
deployment. This document uses the following conventions:

• JBOSS_HOME Directory where JBoss is installed, for example, C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final in Windows or
/usr/local/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final on UNIX
• JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR Application deployment directory in JBoss, for example, C:\jboss-as7.1.1.Final\standalone\deployments in Windows
• CF_WEBAPP_ROOT Directory where ColdFusion is deployed, for example: C:\jboss-as7.1.1.Final\standalone\deployments\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war
• TEMP_LOCATION Temporary location where you extract the cfusion.ear file.
Deploy ColdFusion on JBoss
1 Set JAVA_HOME to the appropriate JDK.
2 Install ColdFusion by using the JEE deployment option and selecting to create an EAR file (the default). The

installation program creates the cfusion.ear file in the install directory.
3 Extract the cfusion.ear file into a TEMP_LOCATION\cfusion.ear folder. This step creates cfusion.war and rds.war

files and a META-INF folder in the cfusion.ear folder.
4 In the cfusion.ear folder, extract the cfusion.war and rds.war files into folders named cfusion and rds, respectively.
5 Delete the compressed cfusion.war and rds.war files.
6 Rename the cfusion and rds folders to cfusion.war and rds.war, respectively.
7 Stop JBoss if it is running.

Last updated 2/17/2016

8 Copy or move the {{TEMP_LOCATION\cfusion.ear }}folder into the {{JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR }}folder. For JBoss 7,

place the exploded ear in the {{JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments }}directory and create an empty file
cfusion.ear.dodeploy (if your EAR directory name is cfusion.ear.) The resulting directory structure will appear as
follows:
server default deploy cfusion.ear cfusion.war META-INF rds.war JBoss 7.x standalone deployments cfusion.ear cfusion.war META-INF
rds.war cfusion.ear.dodeploy

9 (Windows)Edit the JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat file for JBoss 5.1 and 6.x and JBOSS_HOME\standalone.bat for

JBoss 7.x by doing the following:
1 If not present, add the JVM (-Xmx512m) parameter to JAVA_OPTS.
2 Ensure that the permanent generation heap size is set by adding -XX:MaxPermSize=128m to

JAVA_OPTS.Without this parameter, the JVM can generate a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError error.
3 Ensure that the jars available in WEB-INF/flex/jars are in the classpath.
4 Save the run.bat file.
5 Start the server by running the JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat file.
Note: If you use Apache Derby database, add the following in run.bat: JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver. This
is to ensure that Apache Derby do not start a JMX management server that might conflict with JBoss.

6 (Linux) Edit the JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.conf file by doing the following:
1 In JAVA_OPTS, change -Xmx128m. to -Xmx512m.
2 Add -XX:MaxPermSize=128m to JAVA_OPTS.
3 Save the run.conf file.
4 Start the server by running the JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh file. To enable features with operating system-specific

binaries, configure ColdFusion. This step is required to support the following features that use binaries that are
specific to your operating system:

• CFX tags written in C++
• Microsoft Access driver with Unicode support (Windows only) Use the following procedure for your operating
system to configure the search paths to find the required binary files. These files are located in the
CF_WEBAPP_ROOT\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib directory.
Note: If you use Apache Derby database, add the following in run.bat: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver". This
is to ensure that Apache Derby do not start a JMX management server that might conflict with JBoss.

Note: (JBoss 7.x only) If cfusion.ear is not deployed before JBoss times out for deployment, you can change the deployment timeout
of JBoss in JBOSS_HOME\standalone\configuration\standalone.xml file.{{ }}

Last updated 2/17/2016

Note: (JBoss 7.x only) After CF is deployed in JBoss 7.x, web services will not function. To resolve this, add in JBOSS_HOME\modules\sun\jdk\main\module.xml file. For more information, see
https://community.jboss.org/message/627008

Note: If you are running ColdFusion on MAC, documents and PDF functionality may fail with {{ClassNotFound for
com.aqua.LookAndFeel }}error. To resolve this, add the following entry to JBOSS_HOME\modules\sun\jdk\main{color}module.xml
file:

Note: In JBOSS 7.x, if OpenOffice is not functioning, start JBoss with the following flag:
Djava.ext.dirs=JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/oosdk/;/lib/ext/
Use ':' for Unix based machines and ';' for ColdFusion running on Windows.
Also open the module.xml file in JBOSS_HOME\modules\sun\jdk\main\ and add the following line:

Configure operating system-specific binary support for Windows
1 Ensure that JBoss Server is stopped.
2 Edit JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat by adding the following:
set PATH=%PATH%;%CF_LIB_PATH%

3 Edit the run.bat file that is located in the JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR by doing the following:
?

Locate the following text:
rem ----------------------------------------------- rem JBoss Bootstrap Script for Win32 rem -----------------------------------------------

4 Below this text, insert three lines and paste.
set PATH=%PATH%;%CF_LIB_PATH%

5 Save the file and start the server.
Note: You must copy the version of tools.jar that the application server uses to the cfusion/lib directory.

Configure operating system-specific binary support for Linux
1 Ensure that JBoss Server is stopped.
2 Edit JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh by adding the following:

Last updated 2/17/2016

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:CF_WEBAPP_ROOT/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib

3 Save the file and start the server.

Enable COM support (Windows only)
1 Ensure that JBoss Server is stopped.
2 Edit JBOSS_HOME\bin\run.bat by adding the following:
set CF_LIB_PATH=%CF_LIB_PATH%;CF_WEBAPP_ROOT\WEB-INF\cfusion\jintegra\bin;CF_WEBAPP_ROOT\WEBINF\cfusion\jintegra\bin\international

3 Save the file and start the server.

Enable communication with Flex
When ColdFusion is configured to use RMI for LiveCycle Data Services ES, ColdFusion listens on port 1199 by default.
However JBoss typically starts listening on this port before ColdFusion does; as a result, an exception is thrown. To
configure ColdFusion to use a different RMI port, on the Java and JVM page of the ColdFusion Administrator, specify
the following in the JVM arguments text area: -Dcoldfusion.rmiport=nnnn Replace nnn with the value of an unused
port. If you try to connect from a LiveCycle Data Services ES server that is running in another JVM server to
ColdFusion over RMI, the Flex server must start with the same JVM argument.
Disable RDS
1 Stop ColdFusion.
2 Edit JBOSS_DEPLOY_DIR\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\WEB-INF\web.xml by commenting out the following:
RDSServlet RDS Servlet coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet servlet.class coldfusion.rds.RdsFrontEndServlet --> RDSServlet /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm -->

3 Save the file and start ColdFusion.

Prevent security-based errors
If you notice security-based errors when JBOSS is starting (errors that mention Java and security), edit the run.bat file
as follows:
1 Go to the line that contains the -Xmx512m parameter.
2 Change the text: -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME% to be -Dcoldfusion.disablejsafe=true %JAVA_OPTS%. These

security errors occur because some versions of JBOSS cannot handle additional encryption software that
ColdFusion uses for higher security standards. Some features, such as EJB3, require JDK 1.5.

Deploying ColdFusion 11 on Tomcat server

Last updated 2/17/2016

ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11 comes with an in-built modified version of Tomcat server. You can also deploy
ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11 as WAR file on a standard Tomcat server similar to any other JEE server deployment.
1 Create a WAR file of ColdFusion application. See deploying section for more information. For example,

http://localhost:8080
2 Open the Tomcat admin console (http://hostname:portnumber)
3 Click the Manager app at the right side menu options. Alternatively, you can use:

http://hostname:portnumber/manager/html.
?

Tomcat Web Application Manager appears. You can see a list of applications already deployed in Tomcat server
at the top followed by the WAR file deploy option.

4 Click Choose File to browse through your system and choose the WAR file.
5 Click Deploy.

After successful deployment you would receive a message on top of the page. The deployed ColdFusion application
appears in the list of applications. You can start, stop, undeploy, and reload the application using the GUI options.
Access the ColdFusion application by using the application name that you provided while creating the WAR file.
(http://hostname:portnumber/applicationname)
For a list of FAQ on ColdFusion deployment in Tomcat, see the blog post here

Undeploying ColdFusion
To undeploy ColdFusion in the JEE configuration, you use application-server specific undeploy tools and methods.
Undeploy ColdFusion in the JEE configuration
1 Remove all ColdFusion specifications from the java.args and java.library.path JVM arguments used by your

application server.
2 (Windows only) If you installed ODBC support, remove the ODBC Windows services by navigating to the

cf_webapp_root\WEB_INF\cfusion\db\SequeLink Setup directory and executing the RemoveSequeLink.bat file.
3 If necessary, copy and save CFM pages from the ColdFusion web application root.
4 Undeploy the ColdFusion web application using application-server-specific undeploy functionality.
?

On WebLogic, open the WebLogic Administrator., open the WebLogic Administration Console
(http://hostname:portnumber/console) and go to domainname > Deployments > Applications. Click the trash
can to the right of the ColdFusion application, and then click Yes. Open the startup script for the WebLogic
domain and remove ColdFusion-specific entries, as follows:
CF_SHARED_LIB_DIR (also remove CF_SHARED_LIB_DIR from PRE_PATH) LD_LIBRARY_PATH (UNIX only, remove ${CF_SHARED_LIBS})
(Windows only) JINTEGRA_PATH (also remove JINTEGRA_PATH from PRE_PATH) (Windows only) Remove jintegra.jar from
PRE_CLASSPATH CF_SECURITY_JVM_OPTIONS CF_GRAPHING_JVM_OPTIONS Remove ColdFusion arguments from MEM_ARGS
Remove CF_SECURITY_JVM_OPTIONS and CF_GRAPHING_JVM_OPTIONS from JAVA_OPTIONS

5 If necessary, restart the application server.

ColdFusion and API Manager
For ColdFusion installation in JEE and API manager in the same machine, if you want to run it in-VM, then add the
flag -Dapim.home in the config file of JEE application server.

Installing ColdFusion Express
Note: This edition of ColdFusion is not meant for production deployment.

ColdFusion Express is a new deployment option for Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release) that enables you to quickly setup
a development or demonstration instance of ColdFusion without running a full installer or following the complete
installation procedure.
ColdFusion Express is a new ‘lighter’ version of the ColdFusion Server, which lacks some functionality that may not be
needed in all deployments of ColdFusion, and which is ideally suited for developers to quickly setup and run a
ColdFusion Server for testing and debugging purposes. (See below for more information on the differences between
ColdFusion Express and full ColdFusion editions.)

Getting started
You can quickly get your ColdFusion Express edition up and running by performing the following simple tasks.
To use ColdFusion Express, perform the following tasks:
1 Get the compressed archive for your platform.

• Links to the downloadable archive file for each platform's Express edition are available at the Adobe ColdFusion
product trial downloads page. Login with an Adobe ID (or create a new one).
• On the ColdFusion trial downloads page shown, see links to the Express edition archive files offered after the
drop-down of full trial installers. There are express edition archives for Windows (32 and 64 bit), and Linux (32
and 64 bit), and Mac OS X. Extract the archive. The location where you extract the archive is referred to hereafter
as .
• There are also archives available for JEE WAR deployment (32 and 64 bit), which can be deployed on any
ColdFusion-supported JEE application server. If you want to deploy on a 64-bit application server, deploy the 64bit WAR with application server’s Java set to 64-bit. Similarly, deploy a 32-bit WAR on a 32-bit application server.
See your application server's instructions for WAR file deployment. the default context root is "cfusion". The
location where you deploy the WAR file is referred to hereafter as .

Last updated 2/17/2016

2 (Optional) Go to and open the config.ini file for editing. Add valid values for the following

parameters:
1 password_admin – Enter a password for accessing the Administration Console.
2 password_rds – Enter a password for the RDS access (if needed). Note that RDS is enabled by default for

ColdFusion Express with default password. However, you can change the credentials.
3 Save the file.
4 For zip (as oppposed to WAR file) deployments, go to /cfusion/bin and invoke the startup

script for your platform.
1 A compatible JRE is included along with this Server. However, if you wish to change the JRE, ensure:
1 You have Java SE runtime installed and is available in the PATH
2 You have the JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to JRE 1.7 or later. If you don’t want the Server to

pick up the JRE details from the system variable, you can set it up in the jvm.config file that is under
cfusion\bin. For instance, java.home= C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre . Note that it has to be the server JRE.
For information on server JRE you can refer to this document.
3 On Windows – Double-click the cfstart.bat file to start ColdFusion Express.
4 On Linux – From a terminal window, run the cfstart.sh file as a privileged user.
5 Login to Administration Console at http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/ and start configuring your server.
1 For zip file deployments, if this default port (8500) for the built-in web server is already in use, the Express

edition will not start. To change the port see the \cfusion\runtime\conf\server.xml file and
edit the port on the line starting with /cfusion
directory. The following list describes what each sub directory contains:

• bin: Programs for starting, stopping, and viewing information for ColdFusion Express. It also contains the password
reset script for server administrator.
• cache: Repository for temporary files.
• cfx: Sample C++ and Java CFX files with their supporting files.
• charting: Files for ColdFusion Express graphing and charting engine.
• CustomTags: Repository that will contain your custom tags.
• db: The sample Apache Derby databases for all platforms.
• gateway: Files for ColdFusion event gateways.
• jintegra: (Applies only for Windows) JIntegra programs, libraries, and other supporting files.
• lib: JAR, XML, property, and other files that are base libraries for ColdFusion Express.
• logs: Repository for the log files. JRE-specific log files are in the runtime/logs directory. Console outputs are logged
in to start.log instead of cfserver.log.

Last updated 2/17/2016

• Mail: Repository for spooled mail and mail that cannot be delivered.
• registry: (UNIX only) Contains a file to store registry settings.
• runtime: Programs and supporting files for running the Server. Also, this directory contains the Tomcat libraries.
The conf directory in runtime contains all Tomcat configuration files.
• stubs: Contains the web service files.
• wwwroot: The default web root directory for the built-in web server. Do not remove this directory.
Features not available with this edition
ColdFusion Express can be used for quickly evaluating the ColdFusion Server. You need to understand that not all the
features of the ColdFusion Server are available in ColdFusion Express out-of-box.
The following limitations are applicable for the ColdFusion Express:
1 No support for SOLR service.
2 No support for the Microsoft .NET platform.
3 No support for remote administration.
4 No PDF generation support.
Note: To configure any of these previously mentioned services with the server, you can download and install the standalone .NET installer and
the Remote Admin component installer, which contains SOLR server/Remote admin component and has PDF Generation support.

Installing Integrated Technologies
Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release) provides integration capabilities with several Adobe and third-party technologies. In
some cases, you can install these components when you install ColdFusion 2016. In other cases, you might have to
follow some steps outside the ColdFusion installation.
Integrated Adobe and third-party technologies
The 2016 release of provides integration capabilities with several Adobe and third-party technologies.

Configuring your System
You can manage ColdFusion services and processes, configure web servers manually, and change user accounts and
configure databases for ColdFusion.
Note: The term cf_root refers to your installation directory in the server configuration. By default, this directory is C:\ColdFusion2016 in
Windows, /opt/coldfusion2016 in UNIX, and /Applications/ColdFusion2016 in OSX.

Overview of configuration tasks
Configuration task

When to do it

Managing ColdFusion services in Windows and Managing the
ColdFusion process in UNIX

For your changes to take effect when you stop and restart ColdFusion,
for example after you enable or disable security in the ColdFusion
Administrator or change any of the Java and JVM settings. You can do
this at any time after you install ColdFusion.

Configuring web servers

When moving to a production server or when the built-in web server
no longer meets your needs.

Enabling CORBA support

If you must make CORBA invocations from ColdFusion. You can do this
after you install ColdFusion and before you make a CORBA call from
ColdFusion.

Disabling Remote Development Services

For security reasons, disable RDS when you move an application to the
production environment.

Disabling JSP functionality (server configuration only)

When running ColdFusion Enterprise Edition in a hosted environment,
you might want to disable JSP processing.

Changing the ColdFusion user account in Windows

Iif you discover that the account under which ColdFusion is running
has inappropriate access rights; for example, to interact with remote
data sources, other application pages, or COM objects. You must also
do this to be able to print to a printer using the cfprint tag. You can do
this after you install ColdFusion and before you deploy your
application.

For information about additional configuration tasks, see the Configuring and Administering ColdFusion guide.
Managing ColdFusion services in Windows
The ColdFusion installation creates the following services in the configuration indicated:

Configuring web servers
You configure an external web server connection by using the Web Server Configuration Tool, which you can run
through a graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line. The Windows discussions describe GUI mode, and the
UNIX instructions describe command-line mode; however, you can use GUI mode in UNIX if you have access to a
graphical environment.

Note: Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release) provides batch files and shell scripts in the cf_root/cfusion/bin/connectors directory to help you get
started with command-line usage.

For more information on the Web Server Configuration Tool, including information on multihoming and distributed
usage, see the Configuring and Administering ColdFusion guide.

Last updated 2/17/2016

Note: If you cannot verify your configuration, repeat the procedure. If the problem persists, contact Adobe Technical Support for assistance, or
manually create the element that you cannot verify in the configuration (for example, manually add an entry to the Apache httpd.conf file, as
described here.).

Configuring web servers in Windows
You configure web servers in Windows by doing the following:

• Configuring IIS in Windows
• Configuring Apache web server in Windows
Configuring IIS in Windows
You configure IIS using the Web Server Configuration Tool in GUI or command-line mode. This discussion describes
how to use GUI mode.
Note: (Server configuration only) To use the command line, open the batch files located in cf_root\cfusion\bin\connectors or by navigating to
\runtime\bin directory.

For more information, see the Web Server Management chapter in the Configuring and Administering ColdFusion
guide.
Configure IIS for ColdFusion in Windows
Note: If you are configuring IIS 7 or IIS 7.5, before you proceed, ensure that you have the options ISAPI Extensions (Internet Information
Service > Web Management Tools > World Wide Web Services > Application Development Features), ASP.NET , and CGI selected in the
Windows Features dialog box (Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off).

1 Start the Web Server Configuration Tool by selecting Start > Programs > Adobe > ColdFusion 2016 > Web Server

Configuration Tool.
2 Click Add.
3 In the Server pop-up menu, enter the host name and the cluster name to configure.
Note: The server or cluster does not have to reside on the web server computer.

4 In the Web Server Properties area, select IIS and specify the website. For IIS, you typically specify All.

Verify your IIS configuration
1 Verify that the following folder was created: cf_root/config/wsconfig/number.
2 To set the connectionpooltimeout and reuseconnectioncount click on Advanced Setting tab. The option to enable

buffering and verbose debugging is available on the same page.Configuring IIS:

• Creates a folder 1 in cfroot\config\wsconfig, that contains all connector-related files.
• Creates a virtual directory Jakarta in cfroot\config\wsconfig (in IIS).
• Adds an entry, tomcat, under the{{ ISAPI FILTERS}}. This points to cfroot\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dll.
• Adds an entry, tomcat, to cfroot\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dll with permission allowed under ISAPI and
CGI Restrictions. It is applicable for global sites in IIS manager.
• Adds the following isapi handlers: cfcHandler, cfmHandler, cfmlHandler, cfrHandler, and cfswfHandler.
• For debugging issues, set the log level to debug, in the isapi_redirect.properties file present in the
{{cfroot\config\wsconfig\1\ }}directory.

Last updated 2/17/2016

• To disable webserver buffer, change the is_buffer_enable to false in the
cfroot\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.properties file. Disable webserver buffer if you want cfflush to work over an
IIS connector. If your application does not use cfflush, set it to true for increase in the performance.
Configuring Apache web server in Windows
You configure Apache by using the Web Server Configuration Tool in GUI or command-line mode. This discussion
describes how to use GUI mode.
Note: To configure Apache connector in UNIX platforms, APXS installation is a prerequisite.

Note: (Server configuration only) To use the command line, open the batch files located in cf_root\cfusion\bin\connectors.

For more information, see the Web Server Management topic in the Configuring and Administering ColdFusion guide.
Configure Apache for ColdFusion in Windows
1 Start the Web Server Configuration Tool by selecting Start > Programs > Adobe > ColdFusion 2016 > Web Server

Configuration Tool.
2 Click Add.
3 In the Server pop-up menu, enter the host name and the cluster name to configure.
Note: The server or cluster does not have to reside on the web server computer.

4 In the Web Server Properties area, select Apache and specify the path to the directory that contains the httpd.conf

file.

Verify that one of the following files was created:

• cf_root\config\wsconfig_number_Configuring Apache:
Note: To configure Apache connector in UNIX platforms, APXS installation is a prerequisite.

Note: Configuring Apache is not supported on Mac 10.10.5.

• Creates a folder 1 in cfroot\config\wsconfig that contains all connector-related files.
• Creates a file mod_jk.conf in Apache_root_folder\conf. This file has paths to all files in the cfroot\config\wsconfig\1
directory.
• Adds an entry in the httpd.conf file of Apache to include mod_jk.conf.
• The following files are significant:
• uriworkermap.properties: Mapped extensions based on which the connector forwards requests to Tomcat.
• mod_jk.conf: Contains paths to all files in the \config\wsconfig\1 directory. Change the entry JKloglevel info to
JKloglevel debugfor debugging purposes.
Note: For virtual host configuration, add the following entry in each of the virtual blocks: JkMountFile
"cfroot\config\wsconfig\1\uriworkermap.properties:".

Last updated 2/17/2016

*Configure Apache virtual host for each ColdFusion instance:* Assume that you have two instances: cfusion
and server1.
1 Configure Apache webserver for cfusion instance using the wsconfig tool. This step creates the connector-related

files in the cfroot\config\wsconfig\1 folder. It also creates the mod_jk.conf in the \conf folder. The
mod_jk.conf file is included in the httpd.conf.
2 Configure Apache virtual hosts.
3 In workers.properties of cfroot\config\wsconfig\1, add server1 to workers.list. For example,

worker.list=cfusion,server1.
4 Add the following block of code:
worker.server1.host=localhost worker.server1.port=8014

Note: The port is the AJP port for server1 and that can be found in server1.server.xml in the cfroot\server1\runtime\conf\server.xml.

5 Copy the content of uriworkermap.properties in cfroot\config\wsconfig\1 to uriworkermap1.properties. Replace

the cfusion with server1.
6 Now add the following line in each of the virtual host: For example, VH1 is the ColdFusion instance. It should have:

JkMountFile "cfroot\config\wsconfig\1\uriworkermap.properties" VH2 is the server1 instance. It should have
JkMountFile "cf_root\config\wsconfig\1".
Configuring web servers in UNIX
You configure web servers in UNIX by doing one of the following:

• Configuring Apache web server in UNIX
Configuring Apache web server in UNIX
You can configure and verify the Apache web server for ColdFusion in UNIX.

Enter the following command on a single line:
./ wsconfig -ws Apache -dir -v

Note: You must enter the wsconfig command and all switches as a single (long) line.

The following is a sample command:
/opt/coldfusion2016/cfusion/runtime/bin/wsconfig -ws Apache -dir /etc/httpd/conf -v

Note: For unique configurations (such as the preconfigured Apache web servers from Redhat or Sun), add the -bin and -script parameters,
as described in the Configuring and Administering ColdFusion guide.

Note: Configuring Apache is not supported on Mac 10.10.5.

Configuring Virtual Hosts to enable REST
To enable REST services in ColdFusion, add a line to each virtual host for which you want to enable REST. Add the
following line, depending on the OS, to the file that defines the hosts.
On MAC OS X
JkMountFile "/Applications//config/wsconfig/1/uriworkermap.properties"
On Windows
JkMountFile "C:\\config\wsconfig\1\uriworkermap.properties"
Save the include file and restart Apache server to enable REST on all hosts.
Enabling CORBA support
ColdFusion supports third-party Object Request Brokers (ORBs) through its integration with Borland Visibroker.
However, you must acquire the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) software separately from
Borland.
System requirements
You must have all of the following components installed on your computer before you can make CORBA invocations
from ColdFusion:

• Borland Visibroker 4.5.1 for Java
• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4 for the Visibroker Interface Repository
• JRE 1.6 or later for ColdFusion (2016 release)
Installing Visibroker for CORBA connections
1 Install Visibroker on the CORBA server side. For more information, see the Borland Visibroker documentation.
2 Add the vbjorb.jar file to the ColdFusion classpath, as follows:
1 In the ColdFusion Administrator, select Server Settings > Java and JVM. When using the J2EE configuration,

you add the vbjorb.jar file to the J2EE application server classpath, using the server-specific method.

Last updated 2/17/2016

2 On the Java and JVM Settings page, in the Class Path text box, enter the path to your vbjorb.jar file (for example,

C:\Inprise\vbroker\lib\vbjorb.jar). Add Xbootclasspath/a:"C:/Inprise/vbroker/lib/vbjorb.jar", to the JVM Args
text box. You require only the JAR file on the computer that is running ColdFusion; you do not need the full
Visibroker installation.
3 Click Submit Changes.
4 Configure a Visibroker connector in ColdFusion, as follows:
1 In the ColdFusion Administrator, select Extensions > CORBA Connectors.
2 In the CORBA Connectors page, click Register CORBA Connector.
3 In the CORBA Connector page, enter information for the connector. The following is an example of a correctly

configured connector:
Field

Value

ORB Name

visibroker

ORB Class Name

coldfusion.runtime.corba.VisibrokerConnector

Classpath

(none)

ORB Property File

C:\ColdFusion2016\lib\vbjorb.properties

The ORB Property File points to a Java properties file that contains the correct ORB settings for Visibroker. The
contents of the vbjorb.properties file look like the following:
org.omg.CORBA.ORBSingletonClass=com.inprise.vbroker.orb.ORB SVCnameroot=namingroot

4 When you finish editing the page, click Submit. The CORBA Connectors page appears.
5 Select the radio button to the left of your new CORBA connector and click Select ORB Connector. This sets the

new connector to be the default.
6 Prepare your CORBA server side, as follows:
1 Start your Visibroker osagent service or process, if it is not already running, by entering the following command:
osagent

Note: If you must connect to an osagent in another subnetwork, include the following lines in the vbjorb.properties file:

vbroker.agent.port=

2 Start the Interface Repository and load it with the IDL file that you plan to use, by entering an irepcommand, as

in the following example:
irep myir MyIDLFile.idl

3 (Optional) Start the Naming Service by entering a command like the following:
nameserv namingroot

Note: The name of the Naming Service (namingroot in the previous example) must match the value for SVCnameroot in the
vbjorb.properties file.

Last updated 2/17/2016

4 Start Visibroker on your CORBA server.For more information, see the Borland Visibroker documentation.
5 Restart ColdFusion for your changes to take effect. For more information, see Managing ColdFusion services in

Windows and Managing the ColdFusion process in UNIX. You can now make CORBA invocations from
ColdFusion. For more information about integrating CORBA objects into ColdFusion, see the Developing
ColdFusion Applications guide.
Disabling Remote Development Services
If you use Adobe Dreamweaver, Macromedia HomeSite, Adobe Flash Builder, or Eclipse to develop your applications,
you can access a remote ColdFusion server using HTTP. However, you must configure Remote Development Services
(RDS) in your integrated development environment (IDE), and RDS must be enabled in ColdFusion. Using RDS, IDE
users can securely access remote files and data sources, build SQL queries from these data sources, and debug CFML
code.
Note: The ColdFusion Report Builder uses RDS for the Query Builder and for charting support.

However, for security reasons, Adobe recommends that you disable RDS on a production server. To disable it, disable
the RDSServlet mapping.
Disable the RDSServlet mapping
1 Back up the web.xml file. This file is in the cf_root\cfusion\wwwroot\WEB-INF directory in Windows and in the

_cf_root/_cfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF directory in UNIX.
2 Open the original web.xml file for editing.
3 Comment out the RDSServlet mapping, as the following example shows:
RDSServlet RDS Servlet
coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet servlet.class coldfusion.rds.RdsFrontEndServlet -->

4 Save the file.
5 Restart ColdFusion.RDS is disabled on the ColdFusion server. For more information, see Managing ColdFusion

services in Windows, or Managing the ColdFusion process in UNIX.
Disabling JSP functionality (server configuration only)
ColdFusion Enterprise Edition provides support for JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology through the underlying J2EE
application server on which it runs. Because JSP code runs outside the realm of the ColdFusion security framework
and, therefore, is not subject to ColdFusion sandbox security, you do not typically deploy JSPs in a shared, hosted
environment where more than one customer shares a single server.
Disable JSP functionality
1 Open cf_root/cfusion/runtime/conf/web.xml in a text editor.
2 Find the servlet-mapping entry for JspLicenseServlet.
3 Comment out this entry, as the following example shows:
jsp *.jsp -->

4 Save and close the file.

Last updated 2/17/2016

5 Restart ColdFusion.

Changing the ColdFusion user account in Windows
The ColdFusion services, by default, run under the highly privileged system accounts. For an extra level of security,
Adobe recommends that you create a Windows user under which you run the services and only give necessary
privileges to run the web application (for example, folder permissions for the web root.)
Change the ColdFusion user account
1 Open the Services Control Panel. (For example, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools >

Services.)
2 Right-click ColdFusion 2016 Application Server, and select Properties. The ColdFusion 2016 Application Server

Properties (Local Computer) dialog box appears.
3 On the Log On tab, select This account, and enter the account information.
4 Click OK. In the Services control panel, right-click ColdFusion 2016 Application Server, and select Restart.
Note: Do not rename your Windows Administrator account. This causes problems with security policies and profiles.

Troubleshooting installation issues
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any of the common installation problems, you may be able to resolve the issue by following the steps
indicated for that issue.
Common installation problems
Spaces in the TEMP or TMP environment variables (Windows only)
Problem:
A space in the path of the TMP or TEMP environment variables in Windows causes the installer to stop after extracting
from the archive.
Solution:
Change the TEMP or TMP environment variable so it does not include spaces.
Incomplete download
Problem:
InstallAnywhere displays a message to choose another install location. No matter what location you choose, the install
doesn't succeed.
Solution:
Ensure that you downloaded the complete installation file; if not, download the file again.
Problem:
When you try to download the ColdFusion installation file on an Apple Macintosh, the download stops before it is
complete, but the browser indicates that the download is complete.
Solution:

Last updated 2/17/2016

If you are using Safari:
1 Start the download.
2 Open the download window (Option-Command-L).
3 When the download looks like it has stalled, click the Stop (X) button.
4 Click the Resume button.Safari continues the download from where it stalled.
5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 as necessary

Server error
Problem:
When trying to access any CFM page either from the server itself, or remotely, the following error appears:
Server Error The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Solution:
Run the Web Server Configuration Tool to unconfigure and reconfigure your web server connectors, as described in
Configuring web servers at Configuring your System.
Cannot start ColdFusion Server
Problem:
After installing Windows SP2 firewall, you cannot start ColdFusion services.
Solution:
After installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, the Windows Firewall is enabled by default. This prevents ColdFusion
from functioning correctly. For more information, see the Tech Note at www.adobe.com/go/tn_19518.
Errors displaying Flash forms
Problem:
When you try to browse a ColdFusion page that contains a Flash form, the following errors appear:
Error /CFIDE/gettingstarted/community/webroot/index.cfm:-1 macromedia.css.LocatorParser Error
/CFIDE/gettingstarted/community/webroot/inde.mxml:381 The class 'mx.rpc.RemoteClassRelayResponder' could not be loaded.

Solution:
If you are using an external web server, such as Apache or IIS, run the Web Server Configuration Tool by selecting Start
> Programs > Adobe > ColdFusion 2016 > Web Server Configuration Tool; also, try using the built-in server, using port
8500. For more information, see Configuring web servers at Configuring your System.
Browsing a ColdFusion page displays a download window
Problem:
In earlier versions of ColdFusion, you used IIS to map the filename extension .cfm to ICSF.dll. In ColdFusion, you have
not mapped the .cfm filename extension to any .dll file. As a result, ColdFusion pages do not execute running under
IIS 5.0, but display a download window instead.
Solution:
Run the Web Server Configuration Tool by selecting Start > Programs > Adobe > ColdFusion 2016 > Web Server
Configuration Tool. For more information, see Configuring web servers at Configuring your System.

Last updated 2/17/2016

ColdFusion Administrator displays as an encrypted page
Problem:
After you install ColdFusion, you install Windows XP SP2. When you start ColdFusion Administrator, the
Administrator displays as an encrypted page.
Solution:
The Windows XP SP2 update may have undone the IIS mapping for ColdFusion. Run the batch scripts to uninstall, and
then reinstall the IIS connectors. For more information, see Configuring web servers at Configuring your System.
ColdFusion doesn't start
Problem:
ColdFusion doesn't start when you have McAfee Privacy Service installed on system.
Solution:
Remove McAfee Privacy Service.---Data source problems
Unable to add a Microsoft Access data source
Problem:
When you try to add a Microsoft Access data source, an error appears:
Solution:
Install and start up the ODBC service, or use the Microsoft Access with Unicode driver.
ODBC services do not install properly
Problem:
ODBC services do not install properly.
Solution:
Remove the existing ODBC services using the following code:
writeOutput("Installing ODBC Services...
"); returnValue = myObj.installODBCservice(); writeOutput("ODBC Services installed");

You then reinstall the ODBC services using the following code:
writeOutput("Removing ODBC Services...
"); returnValue = myObj.removeODBCservice(); writeOutput("ODBC Services removed");

Unable to INSERT or UPDATE an Oracle 11 database when there is a CLOB field
Problem:
Columns have a 4 KB size limit in Oracle. If a column is larger that the 4 KB size limit, when you try to use either the
cfinsert or cfupdate tag, the following error is generated:
ORA-01704: string literal too long

Solution:

Last updated 2/17/2016

To avoid this error, use either the cfquery or cfqueryparam tag.---Migration problems
Data sources not recognized
Problem:
When you migrate from an earlier version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion (2016 release), your application does not
recognize data sources.
Solution:
Redefine the data sources.
CFCs not recognized in Dreamweaver
Problem:
When you migrate from an earlier version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion (2016 release), the CFCs do not appear in the
Components panel of Dreamweaver.
Solution:
Check the mappings and update them as necessary.
Installation fails
Problem:
On UNIX and Linux systems, when you try to install ColdFusion on systems where the /tmp partition is mounted
noexec, the installation fails.
Solution:
This is because the install attempts to use the /tmp directory for unpacking and running the installer runtime. To avoid
this issue, set the IATEMPDIR environment variable to a directory on the system that has execute permissions before
running the installer.
Problem:
When you try to install ColdFusion, the installation fails and generate the error:
"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit.
(LAX)"

Solution:
You must clean up the directory to which the installer is trying to extract the JRE, for example, /tmp.---J2EE configuration problems
Problem:
When you install ColdFusion on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, the installation script incorrectly report a warning
regarding the C++ compatibility pack.
Solution:

Last updated 2/17/2016

If you plan to use C++ based custom CFX tags, you should interrogate your system for compat-libstdc++ and glibc
packages and install them if necessary. Either query all packages and use the grep command as a filter or query the exact
package name. For example, the command rpm -qa | grep compat-libstdc+ queries all packages and filters or greps on
the string compat-libstdc. This command might produce two results, compat-libstdc-33-3.2.3-47.3 and compatlibstdc+-296-2.96-132.7.2. ---Postinstallation problems
CLOB and data corruption
Problem:
You are using the Japanese version of ColdFusion and Oracle 8/9 with NLS_Characterset JA16SJJS, and encounter
CLOB corruption and data corruption.
Solution:
Set codepageoverride=MS932 in the JDBC URL.
Unsupported keysize or algorithm parameters
Problem:
You are running ColdFusion on WebSphere 5.1 on IBM JVM 1.4.1 and encounter an "Unsupported keysize or
algorithm parameters" exception.
Solution:
Install unlimited jurisdiction policy files, as follows:
1 Download and install Unrestricted JCE Policy files for IBM SDK 1.4 from

https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/jcesdk/jcesdk-p.
2 Unzip the file.
3 Copy files unzipped from this link to the jre/lib/security directory.
4 Restart WebSphere.

Virtual mapping resource path of /* does not work
Problem:
You add a virtual mapping resource path of /* which does not work{{.}}
Solution:
Do not map any directories to wildcard resource paths that contain WEB-INF as a virtual mapping. In ColdFusion MX
6.1, the fact that this worked was a side-effect of the particular way the classloader was configured. For ColdFusion MX
7 and later, the classloader is consistent across all editions; the ColdFusion classloader is no longer blended with the
application server's classloader. This change was made to ensure that ColdFusion MX 7 worked consistently in standalone server as well as deployed as an EAR/WAR to any certified J2EE application server.---Uninstall problems
COM disabled
Problem:
You have an earlier version of ColdFusion on the system. When you uninstall ColdFusion, COM is disabled.
Solution:
Re-register the typeviewer.dll file associated with the earlier version of ColdFusion.
